Yeah, I did not know this was a thing, but rather than being sad that I am no longer original, I am pleased because googly eyes are awesome. posted by six-or-six-thirty at 9:45 AM on December 6, 2011

I recently went around the senior citizen residence where my mom lives and put googly eyes on all sorts of stuff. The residents have been having a ball spotting them ever since.
I was at a funeral a few weeks ago for an interesting man. He's an old school veteran, actually an Atomic veteran. He was my welding instructor. Seems he likes to play pranks. One of the stories was that he would bring his granddaughter to the foodstore and say "You take the top and I'll take the bottom" and they would sharpie marker little Hitler moustaches on all the cats on the cat food containers. posted by brinkzilla at 10:58 AM on December 6, 2011 [1 favorite]
The googly eyes are tough to see in this picture, but I can assure you they are there. posted by googly at 11:28 AM on December 6, 2011
WHERE CAN I BUY GOOGLY EYES.
Dublin could use some eye-bombing action. posted by anaximander at 11:46 AM on December 6, 2011
Googly eyes may be purchased in bulk at any shop catering to crafters. Be sure to pick up self-adhesive magnets and re-usable glue tacks at the same time. posted by kinnakeet at 12:01 PM on December 6, 2011
I can't help but think of this, which is sort of the crude, cave painting version. posted by The Bellman at 12:07 PM on December 6, 2011
Just a quick note, don't get caught "tampering" with the fire extinguishers in a large office building. Trust me. They don't care how cute you're being. They'll call the cops. posted by Splunge at 12:17 PM on December 6, 2011
